About our bath repair in Thorncote Green
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorncote Green as everywhere else we work.

More services for Thorncote Green
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Thorncote Green
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry

Thorncote Green: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How much does bath repair cost in Thorncote Green?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How we price bath repair

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
