The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frecheville. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
