Bath repair in Low Hill, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Worcestershire.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Low Hill: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Low Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath repair in Low Hill
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Low Hill. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
