Landlord and trade work in Higher Crossings
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair in Higher Crossings, done in place
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Your questions about bath repair in Higher Crossings
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Higher Crossings?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we cannot put right

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
