Bath repair at your home in Gosta Green
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Gosta Green
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gosta Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Gosta Green
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What affects the price in Gosta Green
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
