Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

About our bath repair in Wooburn Green

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Wooburn Green

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

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

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Wooburn Green

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Wooburn Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wooburn Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
