Bath repair at your home in Longsdon

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Longsdon

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Common problems we fix in Longsdon

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

A chipped rim or side
Rust by the waste and overflow
Deep scratches in acrylic
A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Longsdon

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longsdon. The price comes down to:

What kind of damage it is
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Where the damage is and how we get to it
The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Where you are, by postcode
A wider photo showing the entire bath
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Longsdon, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Repairing versus replacing in Longsdon

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

We protect the bath and the floor around it.
We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
We match both the colour and the shine.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Have a window or extractor fan available
Let us know which floor the room is on
