About our bath repair in Hollow Street
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in Hollow Street
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Hollow Street
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Hollow Street contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Hollow Street
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
