How we handle bath repair in Fir Toll
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Fir Toll
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Most clients in Fir Toll get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Fir Toll
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Fir Toll included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Fir Toll
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
