Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodcroft

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Woodcroft

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

FAQs for Woodcroft

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, 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 picture.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Woodcroft

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodcroft. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
