Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Walpole Highway questions
Do you come to Walpole Highway?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Walpole Highway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Common problems we fix in Walpole Highway
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Walpole Highway. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
