Bath Repair in Thurmaston
Problem with your bath in Thurmaston? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle bath repair in Thurmaston
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurmaston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurmaston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Common problems we fix in Thurmaston
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- 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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
