Advice
How we handle bath repair in Longmorn
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Longmorn and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Longmorn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in Longmorn
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
