About our bath repair in Hightae
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hightae. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Do you need bath repair in Hightae?
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
