About our bath repair in Higham
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Higham: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Higham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Common problems we fix in Higham
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered

Repair or replace in Higham?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higham
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
