Bath repair in Holbeton, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Holbeton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Holbeton contact us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What else we do in Holbeton
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Holbeton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Straight answers about what a repair can do

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Holbeton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
