About our bath repair in Holm
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Holm
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Common questions in Holm
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How much does bath repair cost in Holm?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HS2 postcode.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
