Bath repair at your home in Frostlane
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Frostlane
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Frostlane
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Frostlane
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Frostlane: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Frostlane
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frostlane use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
