How we handle bath repair in Thrupp
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Thrupp
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Thrupp?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Cast iron enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Thrupp
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
