How we handle bath repair in Lingards Wood
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
FAQs for Lingards Wood
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are there extra charges for Lingards Wood?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What else we do in Lingards Wood
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lingards Wood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HD7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Lingards Wood
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
