What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Langham. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Langham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Langham
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
FAQs for Langham
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Langham clients choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty 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.
When to call us in Langham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
