- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Greenfield, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Greenfield
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Greenfield
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What else we do in Greenfield
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
