Trusted bath repair in Thorner

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thorner. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 price, not a guess.

Bath repair at your home in Thorner

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Questions from Thorner

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Common problems we fix in Thorner

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Landlord and trade work in Thorner

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
