How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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.

Bath repair in Church Langton without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Church Langton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath repair in Church Langton

What about rust by the waste?

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Church Langton?

We do. We send a technician to Church Langton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
