Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Bath repair in Thorgill, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorgill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
FAQs for Thorgill
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorgill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath repair in Thorgill?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
