What affects the price in Freemantle
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle bath repair in Freemantle
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Freemantle as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Freemantle
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Repair or replace in Freemantle?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
