About our bath repair in Goodrich Cross
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. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Goodrich Cross
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Most customers in Goodrich Cross get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Goodrich Cross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in Goodrich Cross
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Goodrich Cross contact us are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
