How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
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’s 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 a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Fole questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does bath repair cost in Fole?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST14 postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
