Bath repair at your home in Longridge

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Repair or replace in Longridge?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Longridge: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Longridge?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PR3 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Longridge included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Longridge

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
