How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common questions in Higher Walton
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we are called out for in Higher Walton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
