Bath repair in Ingoe without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Ingoe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Ingoe: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you work in Ingoe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ingoe and the rest of Northumberland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ingoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
