What affects the price in Dove Holes
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Dove Holes questions
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dove Holes
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

What else we do in Dove Holes
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
