Bath repair in Longman, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Longman. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Longman, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Longman
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
