How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Bath repair at your home in Greta Bridge
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Greta Bridge
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Greta Bridge
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
