Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sacombe Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
About our bath repair in Sacombe Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Sacombe Green
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
When to call us in Sacombe Green
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps

Different materials, different repairs
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
