Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Langley Common. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Langley Common
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in Langley Common
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need bath repair in Langley Common?
