How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
About our bath repair in Frogmore
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Frogmore questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Repair or replace in Frogmore?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?

- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

When to call us in Frogmore
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Frogmore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
