How we handle bath repair in Thingwall
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Thingwall
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you come to Thingwall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thingwall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Thingwall
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. 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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
