Repairing versus replacing in Woodnook
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Woodnook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath repair in Woodnook
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodnook
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Woodnook. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Woodnook: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
