How we handle bath repair in Thorpe

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Thorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Common questions in Thorpe

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
