What else we do in Thorp Arch
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Thorp Arch
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Thorp Arch
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorp Arch

If you manage property in Thorp Arch, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thorp Arch. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
