How we handle bath repair in Longhoughton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longhoughton and across Northumberland.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longhoughton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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 Longhoughton customers choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Usually one visit, start to finish
See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath repair in Longhoughton?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Questions from Longhoughton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
