Bath repair at your home in Longley
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Do you need bath repair in Longley?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Longley questions
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Longley?
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.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you cover the entire of Calderdale?
We cover the entire UK, including Longley and the rest of Calderdale. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Calderdale.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
