Bath repair in Wootton Green, done in place
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, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Wootton Green
Do you come to Wootton Green?
We do. We send a technician to Wootton Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your MK43 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
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 deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Signs you need bath repair in Wootton Green
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Snagging damage from a refit

What affects the price in Wootton Green
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wootton Green. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
