Common questions in Goodrington

Do you come to Goodrington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Goodrington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Bath repair at your home in Goodrington

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TQ4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When to call us in Goodrington

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Common reasons people in Goodrington contact us are:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Goodrington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Goodrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
