The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

High Lane questions
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does bath repair cost in High Lane?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SK6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
