Bath repair in Thornfalcon, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Thornfalcon
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

FAQs for Thornfalcon
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
