Bath repair at your home in Highcliffe

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Highcliffe

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Highcliffe: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you come to Highcliffe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Highcliffe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
