How we handle bath repair in Fremington
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Questions from Fremington
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fremington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
