How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Green. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Lower Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Lower Green

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

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.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • 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
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
