Bath repair at your home in Holmes
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Holmes
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
