DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair in Thornton-le-Moors without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For a price in Thornton-le-Moors, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair

- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Thornton-le-Moors
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not 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. Remove it before the repair.
