Bath repair in Foxcotte

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Foxcotte without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Foxcotte

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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.

FAQs for Foxcotte

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How invisible is a bath 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.

How much does bath repair cost in Foxcotte?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
