Your questions about bath repair in Thurcroft
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Bath repair in Thurcroft, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thurcroft, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rotherham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
