How we handle bath repair in Greet

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greet. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Greet

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greet as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Greet

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Greet?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Greet

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
