Bath repair at your home in Highleigh
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
What we are called out for in Highleigh
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Common questions in Highleigh
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
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.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Highleigh?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
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.
What affects the price in Highleigh
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
