Bath repair in Thornhill without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
FAQs for Thornhill
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
