Bath repair at your home in Frettenham

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Frettenham questions

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR12 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Frettenham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Frettenham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Frettenham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Frettenham

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Frettenham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frettenham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
