Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in Greenhead
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Greenhead
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Greenhead
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenhead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
