Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Green Street

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Green Street: your questions answered

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How much does bath repair cost in Green Street?

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in Green Street

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
