How we handle bath repair in Linwood
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Linwood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Linwood
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

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 a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in Linwood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Linwood
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
