Bath repair at your home in Longnor
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longnor and across Shropshire.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Longnor
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Normally one visit, start to finish

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Longnor. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Longnor
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
