What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Bottom of Woodhouses
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Bottom of Woodhouses questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work in Bottom of Woodhouses?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bottom of Woodhouses from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Bottom of Woodhouses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
