How we handle bath repair in Woodland
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Woodland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodland
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodland use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Woodland
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Woodland, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
