Book bath repair in Wood Green

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your N22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath repair in Wood Green

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Wood Green: your questions answered

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlord and trade work in Wood Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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, which makes it well worth repairing.
