When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Longdon?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longdon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longdon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Longdon: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does bath repair cost in Longdon?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
