Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Thorpe Salvin
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thorpe Salvin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: 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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Your questions about bath repair in Thorpe Salvin
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Salvin
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
