How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Langton questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Langton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
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 picture.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need bath repair in Langton?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
