We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Holt End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath repair in Holt End, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Worcestershire.

Holt End questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you need bath repair in Holt End?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole

- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

What your bath is made of matters
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
