Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in High Orchard

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Bath repair in High Orchard without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including High Orchard. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath repair in High Orchard

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
