Bath repair in Thornbury without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath repair in Thornbury
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Common questions in Thornbury
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Bradford?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Thornbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Thornbury
What affects the price in Thornbury
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thornbury. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
