About our bath repair in Woodgate
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodgate
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodgate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Woodgate
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath repair in Woodgate
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common problems we fix in Woodgate
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
