Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolverstone
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we handle bath repair in Woolverstone
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Woolverstone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath repair in Woolverstone
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again

- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in Woolverstone
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Woolverstone?
We do. We send a technician to Woolverstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
