Bath repair in Woodston, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

The colour and finish to match
Whether we combine several jobs
How easy the damage is to reach
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Natural light rather than flash
What it’s made of, if you know
Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Woodston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Signs you need bath repair in Woodston

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

Deep scratches in acrylic
Rust by the waste and overflow
Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

We protect the bath and the floor around it.
We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
We match both the colour and the shine.
We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

Let us know about parking or access
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the cost of a bath repair?

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Woodston: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Woodston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
