What your bath is made of matters

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 can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Green Street Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Green Street Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Green Street Green

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Green Street Green

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Green Street Green clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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