How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Higherford
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Higherford: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Higherford?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What else we do in Higherford
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
