Bath repair in West Thirston without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in West Thirston
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in West Thirston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
West Thirston questions
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you work in West Thirston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Thirston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic

Repair or replace in West Thirston?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What affects the price in West Thirston
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
