DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repairing versus replacing in Thrupe
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about bath repair in Thrupe
How much does bath repair cost in Thrupe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BA5 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
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.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes

- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash

Do you need bath repair in Thrupe?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
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’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
