Bath repair in High Urpeth, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in High Urpeth
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Urpeth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in High Urpeth

When to call us in High Urpeth
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
