- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair at your home in Thorley Street
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Thorley Street
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Thorley Street questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath repair cost in Thorley Street?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thorley Street. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel

- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
