Common questions in Frodingham

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Frodingham?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you come to Frodingham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Frodingham and the rest of North Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Frodingham. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Frodingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
