Bath repair in Franche without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Franche
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Franche, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Franche questions
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Franche and the rest of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Franche?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
