Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ford's Green. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about bath repair in Ford's Green
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you cover Ford's Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ford's Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business

- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
