Common problems we fix in Linford
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides

Bath repair in Linford without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price

Linford questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are there extra charges for Linford?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Linford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Linford
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Linford
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Linford. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
