Bath repair in High Street without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in High Street and across Cornwall.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in High Street
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repairs by material
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 is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for High Street
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does bath repair cost in High Street?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL26 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Signs you need bath repair in High Street
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
