Bath repair in Thunder Bridge without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Thunder Bridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Thunder Bridge?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath repair in Thunder Bridge
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
