Bath repair in Golant, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Questions from Golant
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Golant?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Golant
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
