Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath repair in Longriggend
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Repairing versus replacing in Longriggend
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Longriggend: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does bath repair cost in Longriggend?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Longriggend?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Longriggend?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Longriggend from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longriggend, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
