About our bath repair in Fockerby
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need bath repair in Fockerby
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What affects the price in Fockerby
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Fockerby
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Are there extra charges for Fockerby?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Fockerby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Fockerby?
We do. We send a technician to Fockerby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
