The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Thundridge
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Thundridge
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thundridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need bath repair in Thundridge
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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 water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Thundridge, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Thundridge
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
