How we handle bath repair in Longhill
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Longhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Longhill
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath repair cost in Longhill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Do you need bath repair in Longhill?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
