Repair or replace in Tye Green?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Tye Green?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Tye Green: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What affects the price in Tye Green
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Tye Green
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
