Bath repair for Greenhill, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
About our bath repair in Greenhill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace in Greenhill?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Greenhill
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

- What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Common questions in Greenhill
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CT6 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
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.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 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, then guarantee it for a year.
