Bath repair in Holdworth without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

Questions from Holdworth
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What affects the price in Holdworth
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Holdworth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
