What else we do in Upper Inglesham
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Signs you need bath repair in Upper Inglesham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Upper Inglesham
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
