Bath repair in Woodlands

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair in Woodlands without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Woodlands

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Woodlands

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Questions from Woodlands

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Woodlands?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
