About our bath repair in Frieth

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Frieth

FAQs for Frieth

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Frieth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Frieth and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Frieth customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Signs you need bath repair in Frieth

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
