About our bath repair in Holme Hale
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

When to call us in Holme Hale
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holme Hale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
