Bath repair in Thorns Green, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is 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 work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorns Green
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Thorns Green
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Thorns Green: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
