Common problems we fix in Longthorpe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

How we handle bath repair in Longthorpe
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repairing versus replacing in Longthorpe
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about bath repair in Longthorpe
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Peterborough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Longthorpe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Peterborough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
