Bath repair in Highampton, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Highampton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Highampton
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Highampton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath repair in Highampton?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Highampton: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
