The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Force Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Force Green
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you need bath repair in Force Green?
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
