Common questions in Goldhanger
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Goldhanger?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goldhanger
If you manage property in Goldhanger, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common problems we fix in Goldhanger
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
