Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Wood End without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wood End as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Wood End, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Wood End

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Wood End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath repair in Wood End?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wood End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
