About our bath repair in Woodgate
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Woodgate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Woodgate: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. 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 look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
