How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for 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 price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Thornton: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Thornton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should you replace it?
People frequently 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we are called out for in Thornton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
