Bath repair in Highertown without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Highertown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work

Common questions in Highertown
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Do you cover Highertown?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Highertown and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Highertown. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
