How we handle bath repair in Inskip

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What information do you need?

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath repair cost in Inskip?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inskip use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Inskip?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Inskip. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we are called out for in Inskip

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
