Your questions about bath repair in Long Ditton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Long Ditton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Long Ditton and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath repair at your home in Long Ditton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Long Ditton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit

- What prep work is covered
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Long Ditton
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
