Bath repair at your home in Throsk
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Throsk
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material
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.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Throsk questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Throsk?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Throsk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
