Bath repair in Wooden Hill, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Wooden Hill
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wooden Hill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG12 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wooden Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wooden Hill. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wooden Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

What else we do in Wooden Hill
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Wooden Hill
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wooden Hill
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
