Bath repair at your home in Thongsbridge
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Thongsbridge
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
