Unstone Green questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Unstone Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Unstone Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 early repairs matter.

Repairing versus replacing in Unstone Green
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
