About our bath repair in Thorpe-le-Soken
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe-le-Soken. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs

It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe-le-Soken
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe-le-Soken as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
