About our bath repair in Goring
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit

When to call us in Goring
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders

Goring questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
