Bath repair at your home in Gomshall
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Gomshall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Gomshall
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we’re called out for in Gomshall
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
