How we handle bath repair in Clayholes
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Clayholes questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Clayholes
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clayholes use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath repair in Clayholes?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
