About our bath repair in Langford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Langford

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Questions from Langford
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Langford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Langford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
