- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
How we handle bath repair in King's Thorn
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in King's Thorn as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in King's Thorn
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so King's Thorn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in King's Thorn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
