Do you charge for travel?

How long before I can use the bath?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greensted Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Greensted Green. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Greensted Green
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 is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
