What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
About our bath repair in Throckmorton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Throckmorton
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Throckmorton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Throckmorton contact us are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Repairing versus replacing in Throckmorton
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
