Bath repair in High Cross without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

Common questions in High Cross
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so High Cross is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What affects the price in High Cross
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to High Cross. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
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 work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
