What else we do in Greenbank
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 often lifts.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Greenbank questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What affects the price in Greenbank
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Greenbank. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
