How we handle bath repair in Thornhills
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Thornhills get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
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 quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornhills
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Thornhills
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Other services in Thornhills
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
What we are called out for in Thornhills
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
