Bath repair in Upper Green without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Upper Green questions

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
