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 the part we put right.
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.

FAQs for Lynstone
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Lynstone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lynstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in Lynstone?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
