Common problems we fix in Freiston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Freiston
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Freiston. Prices do not change with location.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Freiston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Freiston clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
