Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
What we are called out for in Greenlaw
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairing versus replacing in Greenlaw
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
