Common problems we fix in Linton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit

Bath repair in Linton, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Linton: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Linton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
