Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair at your home in New Longton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in New Longton
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in New Longton
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in New Longton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in New Longton
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including New Longton and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What your bath is made of matters
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 is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
