Bath repair in Linthwaite, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Linthwaite
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Linthwaite contact us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides

Repair or replace in Linthwaite?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Linthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about bath repair in Linthwaite
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Linthwaite and the rest of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
