Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- 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. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Thornton-le-Clay without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

FAQs for Thornton-le-Clay
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Thornton-le-Clay?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thornton-le-Clay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When to call us in Thornton-le-Clay
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
