What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Bath repair in France Lynch, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in France Lynch
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does bath repair cost in France Lynch?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Signs you need bath repair in France Lynch
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
