Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Greenside?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Landlord and trade work in Greenside
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Questions from Greenside
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you work in Greenside?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Greenside. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
