Bath repair for Goff's Oak homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath repair at your home in Goff's Oak

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Do you need bath repair in Goff's Oak?

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common questions in Goff's Oak

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Goff's Oak?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Goff's Oak and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Goff's Oak

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
