What affects the price in Thorpe on the Hill
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorpe on the Hill. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Thorpe on the Hill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Questions from Thorpe on the Hill
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe on the Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
