Bath repair at your home in Hollowell
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Hollowell
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

- How long it needs to cure
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Common questions in Hollowell
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Hollowell?
We do. We send a technician to Hollowell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Repair or replace in Hollowell?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Hollowell
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
