How we handle bath repair in Greenfoot

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

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

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Greenfoot

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greenfoot. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenfoot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

FAQs for Greenfoot

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Greenfoot?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greenfoot and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
