Bath repair at your home in Woodgate
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodgate. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we’re called out for in Woodgate
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
FAQs for Woodgate
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
