Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What we’re called out for in Higham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Questions from Higham
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Higham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Higham
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
