Homer Green questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Homer Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Homer Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Homer Green. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Homer Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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, so it’s always worth repairing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Homer Green?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
