Book bath repair in Fritton

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath repair in Fritton, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Fritton questions

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How much does bath repair cost in Fritton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR29 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Fritton

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
