Bath Repair for Lower Higham homes
Local bath repair for Lower Higham: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we handle bath repair in Lower Higham
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, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lower Higham. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Lower Higham
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again

Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
