How we handle bath repair in Alderholt
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Alderholt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Alderholt
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Alderholt
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area

- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs

- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
