Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

East Langton: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When to call us in East Langton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Repairing versus replacing in East Langton

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most clients in East Langton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Langton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
