How we handle bath repair in Golden Hill
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about bath repair in Golden Hill
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Golden Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Golden Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Golden Hill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Golden Hill
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
