Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Woodnewton without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Repair or replace in Woodnewton?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Woodnewton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about bath repair in Woodnewton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
