Your questions about bath repair in Holford
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Holford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Bath repair in Holford, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Holford
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Holford. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
