Bath Repair for Frogpool homes
Our technicians come to Frogpool for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
About our bath repair in Frogpool
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we’re called out for in Frogpool
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Frogpool
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frogpool use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Frogpool
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Repair or replace in Frogpool?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
