How we handle bath repair in Woolgarston
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Woolgarston questions
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Woolgarston?
We do. Technicians travel to Woolgarston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Woolgarston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
