Bath repair in Longcross

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longcross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Common questions in Longcross

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Are there extra charges for Longcross?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Longcross?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Longcross?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longcross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common reasons people in Longcross contact us are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
