What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair in Langton Herring, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Langton Herring and across Dorset.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Langton Herring
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langton Herring use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Langton Herring?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

FAQs for Langton Herring

Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Repair or replace in Langton Herring?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
