How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Great Green
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What else we do in Great Green
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Green
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Great Green questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
