Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
Bath repair in Holbeck, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Holbeck and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Holbeck
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Your questions about bath repair in Holbeck
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath repair cost in Holbeck?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Are there extra charges for Holbeck?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holbeck
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holbeck. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holbeck. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
