Trusted bath repair in Highmoor

Bath repair at your home in Highmoor

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Highmoor: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do you work in Highmoor?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Highmoor and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you need bath repair in Highmoor?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
