Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodmancote
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Woodmancote without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Woodmancote questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Woodmancote included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What else we do in Woodmancote
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Woodmancote
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common problems we fix in Woodmancote
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
