Bath repair in Thorpe Arnold without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thorpe Arnold. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

When to call us in Thorpe Arnold
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in Thorpe Arnold
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
