How we handle bath repair in Inkerman
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Signs you need bath repair in Inkerman
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inkerman as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Inkerman
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Inkerman: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How much does bath repair cost in Inkerman?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
