Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Golden Cross, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath repair in Golden Cross, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Golden Cross: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Golden Cross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Golden Cross?
We do. Technicians travel to Golden Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Golden Cross?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Golden Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
