Bath repair in Longroyd Bridge

Bath repair in Longroyd Bridge without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

Longroyd Bridge questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Longroyd Bridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Longroyd Bridge. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Longroyd Bridge included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Longroyd Bridge

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longroyd Bridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HD1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
