What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.

- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Green End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Green End
For anyone letting property in or around Green End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

FAQs for Green End
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
