Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Bal

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Higher Bal
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
