Bath repair at your home in High Wycombe
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in High Wycombe?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
High Wycombe: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you cover High Wycombe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to High Wycombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Wycombe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What else we do in High Wycombe
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
