About our bath repair in West Thorney
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in West Thorney
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath repair in West Thorney
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you come to West Thorney?
We do. We send a technician to West Thorney for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for West Thorney?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in West Thorney
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in West Thorney
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Thorney
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
