Bath repair at your home in Hightown
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Hightown
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.

What we’re called out for in Hightown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
