- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our bath repair in Longley
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Longley
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you come to Longley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Longley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Longley
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
