About our bath repair in Ingham
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ingham and across Suffolk.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes 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.

Questions from Ingham
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ingham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP31 postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Ingham
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.

What affects the price in Ingham
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we are called out for in Ingham
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ingham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
