Bath repair in Thorpe Audlin without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thorpe Audlin and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace in Thorpe Audlin?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thorpe Audlin. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe Audlin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Thorpe Audlin get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
