What we are called out for in Goon Gumpas
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Goon Gumpas
Are there extra charges for Goon Gumpas?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR16 postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What affects the price in Goon Gumpas
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Goon Gumpas. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
