Bath Repair in Thornholme
Our technicians come to Thornholme for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we handle bath repair in Thornholme
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Thornholme
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in Thornholme
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Thornholme?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
