Repair or replace in Highoak?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What affects the price in Highoak

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Highoak: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

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

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
