Bath repair in Thwaite St Mary, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Thwaite St Mary
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Thwaite St Mary
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about bath repair in Thwaite St Mary
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
