Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longtown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Longtown?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longtown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for Longtown
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Longtown included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longtown. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
