The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Woolstone questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath repair in Woolstone

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolstone

For anyone letting property in or around Woolstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
