Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair at your home in Gosford
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gosford as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath repair in Gosford?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps

Gosford questions
Are there extra charges for Gosford?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Gosford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What affects the price in Gosford
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
