Common questions in Thornbury
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What we’re called out for in Thornbury
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Thornbury contact us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Thornbury
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
