Trusted bath repair in Ingham

Bath repair at your home in Ingham

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Ingham: your questions answered

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How much does bath repair cost in Ingham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Ingham

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
