Bath repair at your home in Higher Downs
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Downs use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Higher Downs
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Higher Downs. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

When a repair is not the answer

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
