Bath repair at your home in Thornford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Thornford
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Thornford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thornford. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
