Common questions in Woldingham

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

We cover the entire UK, including Woldingham and the rest of Surrey. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Do you need bath repair in Woldingham?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Woldingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • 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. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
