Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Goonbell. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Goonbell and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Goonbell
Rust usually 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
