How we handle bath repair in Greenbank

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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 if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Greenbank. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Greenbank, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.

Repair or replace in Greenbank?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Greenbank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenbank use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Greenbank

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Greenbank?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Greenbank from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
