What affects the price in Durrant Green
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Bath repair in Durrant Green without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlord and trade work in Durrant Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
