Your questions about bath repair in Hollington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Bath repair in Hollington without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollington
If you manage property in Hollington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hollington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Hollington
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
What affects the price in Hollington
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
