Bath repair in Thistleton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Thistleton
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover the whole of Rutland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?

Repair or replace in Thistleton?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Thistleton customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What else we do in Thistleton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
