Landlord and trade work in The Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around The Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Signs you need bath repair in The Green
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to The Green. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Questions from The Green
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
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. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
