Bath repair in Hollybush 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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hollybush
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Repairing versus replacing in Hollybush
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hollybush. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Hollybush: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How much does bath repair cost in Hollybush?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
