What happens on the day
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 usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Highfield: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Highfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Highfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Signs you need bath repair in Highfield
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What affects the price in Highfield
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Highfield, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Highfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
