  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Materials we work on in Frogham

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frogham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need bath repair in Frogham?

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Frogham

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

FAQs for Frogham

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
