Bath repair near Longham

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Longham

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Longham?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Longham

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

FAQs for Longham

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
