Lynsore Bottom: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How we handle bath repair in Lynsore Bottom
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. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Lynsore Bottom, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Lynsore Bottom?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
