Your questions about bath repair in Linton

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Linton. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Linton

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Linton?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
