When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

About our bath repair in Holden

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Holden. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Your questions about bath repair in Holden

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Holden. Prices don’t change with location.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Holden clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
