About our bath repair in Goodwood

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Goodwood. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath repair in Goodwood

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do you cover the entire of Leicester?

The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace in Goodwood?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Goodwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Goodwood

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
