What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hightown. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath repair at your home in Hightown
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Hightown
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hightown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What else we do in Hightown
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Hightown
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
