Bath repair in Gold Tops without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When to call us in Gold Tops
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gold Tops

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gold Tops
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Related advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gold Tops. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Gold Tops and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
