Wood End questions
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What affects the price in Wood End
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wood End. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Wood End, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath repair in Wood End?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
