Bath repair at your home in Golcar
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in Golcar
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Golcar?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HD7 postcode.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common problems we fix in Golcar
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
Comparing quotes
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
