Trusted bath repair in Highbrook

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Bath repair in Highbrook, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath repair in Highbrook

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Landlord and trade work in Highbrook

If you manage property in Highbrook, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about bath repair in Highbrook

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What affects the price in Highbrook

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
