Fairwarp questions

Do you come to Fairwarp?

We do. We send a technician to Fairwarp for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fairwarp. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Fairwarp?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Fairwarp

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
