Bath repair in Woodhurst

Bath repair at your home in Woodhurst

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Woodhurst

Do you come to Woodhurst?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Woodhurst and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Woodhurst. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When to call us in Woodhurst

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
