Ford Green: your questions answered
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Ford Green?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us photos and we will tell you what’s possible.
Will you travel to Ford Green?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, with the same prices as anywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ford Green?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR3 postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ford Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Ford Green
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Ford Green
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Luke's Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Ford Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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. For a rural address like Ford Green, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath repair comes with us in one trip.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. For a rural home like those around Ford Green, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
