Questions from Longdown
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How we handle bath repair in Longdown
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longdown and across Devon.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Longdown?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Longdown
Do you need bath repair in Longdown?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
