Bath repair in Highnam without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Highnam

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Highnam?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
