Bath repair in Woodgate without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do you need bath repair in Woodgate?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Woodgate

Do you cover Woodgate?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodgate. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
