Bath repair in Longden without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Longden
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Will the repair show?
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Longden?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Longden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Longden
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Do you need bath repair in Longden?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
