About our bath repair in Woodhouse Down
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and chips caused by builders.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woodhouse Down as everywhere else we work.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Common problems we fix in Woodhouse Down
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace in Woodhouse Down?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodhouse Down. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Woodhouse Down: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Woodhouse Down?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you cover Woodhouse Down?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodhouse Down for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
