Common problems we fix in Long Newton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Long Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Long Newton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Long Newton.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
