Bath repair in Frolesworth

Bath repair at your home in Frolesworth

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Frolesworth

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE17 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

When to call us in Frolesworth

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frolesworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
