About our bath repair in Thorpe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Thorpe: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Thorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Thorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Thorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for 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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Thorpe
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Signs you need bath repair in Thorpe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Before you book anyone

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
