How we handle bath repair in Folke
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Folke
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Folke.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlords, agents and businesses in Folke
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Folke as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
