Bath repair at your home in Longnor
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
If you are in Longnor and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

When to call us in Longnor
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longnor. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
