Bath repair at your home in Longwood
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longwood and across Kirklees.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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 the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Longwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Longwood
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Longwood and the rest of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
