Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 frequently lifts.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Longford
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Coventry.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Longford and the rest of Coventry. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Longford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
