Woodlane questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does bath repair cost in Woodlane?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE13 postcode.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Woodlane?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Woodlane and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

When to call us in Woodlane

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
