How we handle bath repair in Goodley Stock
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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Goodley Stock
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Goodley Stock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about bath repair in Goodley Stock
Are there extra charges for Goodley Stock?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How much does bath repair cost in Goodley Stock?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What affects the price in Goodley Stock
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
