Bath repair for Frandley homes

How we handle bath repair in Frandley

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Frandley and across Cheshire West and Chester.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Most customers in Frandley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frandley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Questions from Frandley

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you come to Frandley?

We do. Technicians travel to Frandley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

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