Bath repair at your home in Long Clawson
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Long Clawson
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Long Clawson?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Long Clawson. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Clawson as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Long Clawson, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common problems we fix in Long Clawson
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
