Bath repair in Holme without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Holme

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Holme and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Holme

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
