Bath Repair in Thorpe Tilney
Our technicians come to Thorpe Tilney for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our bath repair in Thorpe Tilney
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Tilney
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
FAQs for Thorpe Tilney
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Thorpe Tilney, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
