What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhaugh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

When to call us in Thornhaugh
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- What aftercare is recommended
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thornhaugh. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornhaugh
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Thornhaugh
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for Thornhaugh?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Thornhaugh?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE8 postcode.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
