Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Thorpe Astley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Thorpe Astley
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Thorpe Astley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE3 postcode.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Thorpe Astley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
