Bath chip & crack repair in Highbridge, Somerset
Fixed-price bath repair in Highbridge and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath repair in Highbridge
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highbridge. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Highbridge: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TA9 postcode.
Do you come to Highbridge?
We do. We send a technician to Highbridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we’re called out for in Highbridge
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Highbridge clients choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highbridge
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
