About bath repair in FK11

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

What it costs in FK11

Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in FK11

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for FK11. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in FK11

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Repair or replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

FK11 questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you come to FK11?

We do. We send a technician to FK11 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

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