Bath repair at your home in Foscot

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in Foscot

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Foscot.

Can you price it without visiting?

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Repairing versus replacing in Foscot

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Foscot. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Foscot

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Foscot. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foscot as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Foscot, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
