Bath repair for Frocester homes

Signs you need bath repair in Frocester

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

  • How long it needs to cure

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 normally the cheaper route.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Frocester. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Frocester questions

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Frocester

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frocester. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs

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 what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
