Bath repair in Thorpe, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Signs you need bath repair in Thorpe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Thorpe?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Take a look at our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
