Bath repair at your home in Langstone
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. 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 hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Langstone
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlord and trade work in Langstone
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langstone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Langstone
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Langstone. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Langstone: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the entire of Newport?
All of Newport, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you work in Langstone?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Langstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Langstone
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
