Highweek: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Highweek?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Highweek for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Repair or replace in Highweek?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Do you need bath repair in Highweek?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy

- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
