Bath repair at your home in Goonvrea
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Goonvrea questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Goonvrea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Goonvrea
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Goonvrea
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
