Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Bath repair at your home in Thornton
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 a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Thornton questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Thornton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Thornton

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your FY5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Thornton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
