About our bath repair in Long Lee
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Long Lee as everywhere else we work.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
