What we do, step by step

- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Advice
Bath repair in Woodthorpe, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Woodthorpe. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Woodthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Woodthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
