How we handle bath repair in Wood End
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wood End and across Warwickshire.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Wood End
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Wood End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wood End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Wood End and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Wood End
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
