How we handle bath repair in The Green
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Green. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Your questions about bath repair in The Green
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We cover the entire UK, including The Green and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Landlord and trade work in The Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
