How we handle bath repair in Long Drax
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Long Drax
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How much does bath repair cost in Long Drax?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When to call us in Long Drax
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Drax
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
