Bath repair in Highstreet

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

About our bath repair in Highstreet

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Highstreet and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Do you need bath repair in Highstreet?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Questions from Highstreet

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

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.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you work in Highstreet?

We do. We send a technician to Highstreet for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highstreet

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Highstreet?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What bath repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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