How we handle bath repair in Woll
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Woll
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
