How we handle bath repair in Higher Bartle
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Higher Bartle

Common problems we fix in Higher Bartle
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
