Bath repair in High Ercall without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Ercall and across Telford and Wrekin.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to High Ercall. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
If you are in High Ercall and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in High Ercall
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected

What else we do in High Ercall
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Questions from High Ercall
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
