How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Bath repair in Little Thurlow without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it 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 have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Little Thurlow questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Little Thurlow?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Little Thurlow. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Thurlow
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
