How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Holmesfield. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For anyone letting property in or around Holmesfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Holmesfield?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Holmesfield
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Signs you need bath repair in Holmesfield
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What else we do in Holmesfield
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
