Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath repair at your home in High Heath
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Heath and across Shropshire.

Landlord and trade work in High Heath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for High Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in High Heath?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Common questions in High Heath
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How much does bath repair cost in High Heath?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
