Bath repair at your home in Golden Hill
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace in Golden Hill?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Golden Hill
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair show?
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.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Golden Hill. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
If you manage property in Golden Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
