When a repair is not the answer

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Bath repair in Woodhead, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Signs you need bath repair in Woodhead
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

FAQs for Woodhead
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Woodhead?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ML3 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Woodhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
