About our bath repair in Hollington

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Hollington

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Hollington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hollington and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What affects the price in Hollington

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Hollington clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Hollington

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

  • Pressed steel enamel

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we are called out for in Hollington

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Look out for these signs:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
