Bath repair in Lingwood, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Lingwood?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
