Your questions about bath repair in Fritwell
Are there extra charges for Fritwell?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fritwell?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Fritwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fritwell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fritwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What else we do in Fritwell
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
