Bath repair in Sneyd Green, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Sneyd Green
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are there extra charges for Sneyd Green?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What else we do in Sneyd Green
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Sneyd Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Sneyd Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
