Bath repair in Green Street

Bath repair in Green Street, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Green Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about bath repair in Green Street

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most customers in Green Street get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Green Street

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Green Street

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
