DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What else we do in Goddington
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in Goddington
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How do I book?

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Goddington
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
