About our bath repair in Higher Copthurst

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Questions from Higher Copthurst

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Higher Copthurst is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Copthurst

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Higher Copthurst

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
