How we handle bath repair in High Town
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 scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Signs you need bath repair in High Town
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.

High Town: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to High Town. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
