How we handle bath repair in Langley
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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.
What else we do in Langley
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Langley
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Langley. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
