How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What we’re called out for in Frisby on the Wreake

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frisby on the Wreake. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Common questions in Frisby on the Wreake

Does someone need to be in?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you come to Frisby on the Wreake?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Frisby on the Wreake from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frisby on the Wreake use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Frisby on the Wreake, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
