DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Woolsbridge?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What affects the price in Woolsbridge

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Woolsbridge questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Common reasons people in Woolsbridge contact us are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
