About our bath repair in Greenacres
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenacres as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Greenacres
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace in Greenacres?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Do you need bath repair in Greenacres?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
