Bath repair in Longhirst without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longhirst. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE61 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Questions from Longhirst
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Longhirst?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
