Common questions in Fontwell
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fontwell?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Fontwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fontwell. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
