Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Woodcote
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
