For landlords and businesses
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in High Cross
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in High Cross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from High Cross
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
