Bath Repair for Haighton Green homes
Damaged bath in Haighton Green? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 the same day in most cases.
Bath repair in Haighton Green without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Haighton Green
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about bath repair in Haighton Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Haighton Green?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
