Thorncombe Street: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How we handle bath repair in Thorncombe Street
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorncombe Street
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What else we do in Thorncombe Street
Repairing versus replacing in Thorncombe Street
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
