Thorne: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Thorne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Doncaster.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Doncaster. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Bath repair in Thorne without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorne. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Thorne
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
