How we handle bath repair in Great Longstone
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we are called out for in Great Longstone
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 early repairs matter.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Longstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Great Longstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Great Longstone
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
