The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Upper Green
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
If you are in Upper Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Upper Green questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Upper Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upper Green and the rest of Bradford. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
