Landlords, agents and businesses in Langney

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Langney. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about bath repair in Langney

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, 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.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

Everywhere in the UK, Langney included. There is no extra charge for travel.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Langney

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Langney?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
