Repairing versus replacing in Inkpen
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
