Thelwall: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What we’re called out for in Thelwall
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone

- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thelwall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
