About our bath repair in Linton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Linton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Linton
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Landlord and trade work in Linton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath repair in Linton
How do I get a price for bath repair in Linton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
