Bath repair at your home in Greenhills
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Greenhills

- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

FAQs for Greenhills
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you come to Greenhills?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Greenhills. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Greenhills
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
