Bath chip & crack repair in Holme, Kirklees
Local bath repair for Holme: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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.

How we handle bath repair in Holme
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Holme?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Holme: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
