DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair in Hightown without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hightown. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hightown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repairing versus replacing in Hightown
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
