When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Bath repair in Thorney Hill without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorney Hill and across Dorset.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Thorney Hill
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.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thorney Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Thorney Hill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
