Common questions in Goddard's Green
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
About our bath repair in Goddard's Green
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Goddard's Green and across West Berkshire.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Goddard's Green
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Goddard's Green?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
