Bath repair for Frog End homes

Bath repair in Frog End, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most customers in Frog End get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Frog End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Frog End

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Frog End?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Frog End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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.

  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. 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, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
