- Repairs from £95

How we handle bath repair in Thelveton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Thelveton: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Thelveton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Thelveton
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Thelveton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
