- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Do you need bath repair in Holemoor?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Holemoor
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX22 postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holemoor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
