Repair or replace in Holborough?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath repair in Holborough without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Holborough questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Holborough.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Are there extra charges for Holborough?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Holborough. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Holborough
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
