How we handle bath repair in Highfields
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Highfields
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
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.
Repair or replace in Highfields?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
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, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Highfields

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
FAQs for Highfields
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Doncaster and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
