Bath repair in Thurning, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thurning as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Thurning
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For a price in Thurning, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Thurning
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Thurning, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Thurning
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Repair or replace in Thurning?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
