How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Park Wood
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Park Wood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Park Wood
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
