Repairing versus replacing in Thornton Heath
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath repair in Thornton Heath, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in Thornton Heath
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton Heath as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Thornton Heath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 what we repair.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
