How we handle bath repair 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 so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

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 early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Thornton
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does bath repair cost in Thornton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Thornton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
