Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Woodside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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 any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Woodside

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

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 get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Woodside

Most bath damage comes from something 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

Woodside questions

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
