About our bath repair in Holborn Hill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Holborn Hill
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Holborn Hill included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Holborn Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
