When to call us in Linton-on-Ouse
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Bath repair in Linton-on-Ouse, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
