Bath repair in Ingleton, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Ingleton
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add 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.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
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.
What we are called out for in Ingleton
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
