How we handle bath repair in Thickwood
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thickwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need bath repair in Thickwood?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thickwood. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Thickwood
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
