Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Bath repair in Thurlby, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Thurlby
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
FAQs for Thurlby
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Thurlby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
