About our bath repair in Thorpe Common
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Thorpe Common questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Thorpe Common.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

When to call us in Thorpe Common
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Common reasons people in Thorpe Common contact us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote

- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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 clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Thorpe Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
