Bath chip & crack repair in Kilton Thorpe, Redcar and Cleveland
Bath repair in and around Kilton Thorpe: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Kilton Thorpe without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We are often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Kilton Thorpe
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Kilton Thorpe
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
