Bath repair in Woodford, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Woodford. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Woodford: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Woodford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Woodford?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we are called out for in Woodford

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
