How we handle bath repair in Govilon
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Repair or replace in Govilon?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Govilon
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Govilon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Govilon: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
