How we handle bath repair in Greengates
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Greengates and across Bradford.

Questions from Greengates
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bradford.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Greengates get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Greengates
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
