How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Bath repair at your home in Green Street

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Green Street

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What affects the price in Green Street

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Green Street: your questions answered

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are there extra charges for Green Street?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

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 repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN38 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
