Do you need bath repair in Gosbeck?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the entire UK

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Gosbeck questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Gosbeck?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gosbeck from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
