Your questions about bath repair in Castle Green
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Castle Green.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Castle Green?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Castle Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Castle Green. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Castle Green, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need bath repair in Castle Green?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
