How we handle bath repair in Thurlaston
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thurlaston and across Leicestershire.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Thurlaston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
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.
