DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel

Repair or replace in Langthwaite?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Langthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
