About our bath repair in East Holme
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to East Holme. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in East Holme
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to East Holme?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Holme from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Common problems we fix in East Holme
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
