The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ingestre. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlord and trade work in Ingestre
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Ingestre, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Common questions in Ingestre
Are there extra charges for Ingestre?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
