What affects the price in Longcroft
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your FK4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right.

What else we do in Longcroft
Longcroft: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath repair cost in Longcroft?
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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Falkirk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When to call us in Longcroft
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Longcroft contact us are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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 normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
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.
