About our bath repair in Thurcaston
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Thurcaston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What else we do in Thurcaston
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
