Advice
Bath repair in Frating without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Frating

- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Frating questions
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does bath repair cost in Frating?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Frating. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Frating, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
