Bath repair in Torksey, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Torksey?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Torksey. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Torksey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Common questions in Torksey
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
