Bath repair in Fiddler's Green without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Fiddler's Green

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Fiddler's Green

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What affects the price in Fiddler's Green

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fiddler's Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Fiddler's Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
