Bath Repair for Longrock homes
Bath repair in and around Longrock: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath repair in Longrock without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Longrock?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Your questions about bath repair in Longrock
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Longrock. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Longrock
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
