Bath repair in Thorney without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath repair in Thorney?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Thorney: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you come to Thorney?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorney. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Thorney
Landlord and trade work in Thorney
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorney as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repair or replace in Thorney?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
