About our bath repair in Woodlands
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need bath repair in Woodlands?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Woodlands
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlands use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Woodlands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
