Bath repair in Thearne, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Thearne
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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.

How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Thearne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thearne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. 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.
