Do you need bath repair in Woodley?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath

Bath repair in Woodley without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Woodley
How much does bath repair cost in Woodley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK6 postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
