About our bath repair in High Coniscliffe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in High Coniscliffe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Advice
What affects the price in High Coniscliffe
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in High Coniscliffe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Are there extra charges for High Coniscliffe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
