Bath repair at your home in Langlee
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Langlee
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Langlee: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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 photo.
