Bath repair in Highleadon without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Highleadon
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does bath repair cost in Highleadon?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL18 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highleadon. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need bath repair in Highleadon?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
