Bath repair in Woodbank, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures 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.
Questions from Woodbank
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
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 early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
