Bath repair in Friog, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
