Bath Repair in Foldrings
Damaged bath in Foldrings? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Bath repair in Foldrings, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Foldrings
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Foldrings?
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Foldrings. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
