Fant questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What we’re called out for in Fant
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What affects the price in Fant
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Fant and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Fant?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
