Bath repair in Longdon

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longdon and across Staffordshire.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we are called out for in Longdon

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WS15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
