We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath repair in Inglemire without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Inglemire

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Inglemire?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Inglemire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Repairing versus replacing in Inglemire

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

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

Related advice

What affects the price in Inglemire

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we are called out for in Inglemire

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
