How we handle bath repair in Woolston

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Do you need bath repair in Woolston?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Woolston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Woolston questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Woolston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Woolston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Woolston and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
