About our bath repair in Freuchie

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Questions from Freuchie

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Freuchie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Freuchie customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
