About our bath repair in Ingoldsby

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ingoldsby as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Ingoldsby

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Questions from Ingoldsby

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

How much does bath repair cost in Ingoldsby?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NG33 postcode.

When can you do it?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in Ingoldsby

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Ingoldsby

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
