You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chip where the taps sit

- Rust by the waste and overflow

Bath repair in Woodhouse, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Woodhouse
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Woodhouse
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Woodhouse, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What else we do in Woodhouse
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
