About our bath repair in Woodbury
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woodbury as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Woodbury
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Woodbury
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairing versus replacing in Woodbury
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 the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Woodbury: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Woodbury and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
