What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair at your home in Holmer
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HR4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holmer
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Holmer
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Holmer.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
