About our bath repair in Freasley
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace in Freasley?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Freasley
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Freasley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Freasley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need bath repair in Freasley?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
