What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
About our bath repair in Hollywater
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Hollywater
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What else we do in Hollywater
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Hollywater questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Hollywater customers choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
