Bath repair in Highfield, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Highfield
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
FAQs for Highfield
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Highfield?
We do. We send a technician to Highfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we are called out for in Highfield
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
