Wood's Corner: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TN21 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What we’re called out for in Wood's Corner
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What affects the price in Wood's Corner
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wood's Corner. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
