Bath repair at your home in Frant

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Common questions in Frant

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Frant?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Common problems we fix in Frant

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Frant

If you manage property in Frant, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frant as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
