Bath repair in Woodton without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Woodton questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
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.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR35 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
