Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Ingarsby
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens after I send photos?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Are there extra charges for Old Ingarsby?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath repair cost in Old Ingarsby?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Old Ingarsby
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Ingarsby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
