How we handle bath repair in Tholomas Drove

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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tholomas Drove and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Tholomas Drove

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common reasons people in Tholomas Drove contact us include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in Tholomas Drove

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Tholomas Drove: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, 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 picture.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Tholomas Drove. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
