About our bath repair in Linstock

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Linstock

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linstock as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Linstock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
