Bath Repair for Woking homes
We travel to Woking for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we handle bath repair in Woking
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woking
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Woking, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath repair in Woking
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Repairing versus replacing in Woking
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 fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
