Bath repair in Long Green without replacing anything
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. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Long Green as everywhere else we work.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath repair in Long Green
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
FAQs for Long Green
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
