Bath repair in Longside without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Longside: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Longside?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Longside?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Signs you need bath repair in Longside
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
