Bath repair in Linfitts without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Linfitts and across Oldham.

When to call us in Linfitts
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linfitts use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath repair in Linfitts
Are there extra charges for Linfitts?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linfitts. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
