About our bath repair in Goatacre
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Goatacre: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Goatacre and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you need bath repair in Goatacre?
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Repairing versus replacing in Goatacre
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Goatacre. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
