What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Bath repair in Linthouse without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Linthouse and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.

FAQs for Linthouse
Are there extra charges for Linthouse?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Linthouse
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Do you need bath repair in Linthouse?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
