About our bath repair in Friezland

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about bath repair in Friezland

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Friezland?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Friezland. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common problems we fix in Friezland

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Friezland use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
