Bath repair in Higher Town without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Higher Town as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
