The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Holme without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Holme

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath repair in Holme

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How much does bath repair cost in Holme?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you come to Holme?

We do. We send a technician to Holme for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are there extra charges for Holme?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Holme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
