Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Questions from Longcot
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longcot, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Longcot?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
