Bath repair in Thornes without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thornes and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Thornes
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What else we do in Thornes
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Thornes
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
What affects the price in Thornes
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornes. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornes. 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
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
