Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Goose Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair at your home in Goose Green

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What we’re called out for in Goose Green

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Goose Green questions

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Goose Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Goose Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Landlord and trade work in Goose Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
