About our bath repair in Woolston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Woolston and across Somerset.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Signs you need bath repair in Woolston
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Woolston: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
