About our bath repair in Woolston
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything

Woolston questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How much does bath repair cost in Woolston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you need bath repair in Woolston?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What else we do in Woolston
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Woolston. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Woolston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
