About our bath repair in Ingleby Barwick
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ingleby Barwick. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
The price 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ingleby Barwick, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
