When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Golden Cross
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Golden Cross
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Golden Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Golden Cross
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Golden Cross
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
