Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highmoor Cross. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our bath repair in Highmoor Cross
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When to call us in Highmoor Cross
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Highmoor Cross
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
