Repairing versus replacing in Holbeach
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we’re called out for in Holbeach
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

FAQs for Holbeach
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
