- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath repair in Langley Bottom
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Langley Bottom
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Langley Bottom
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Langley Bottom contact us are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
