Bath repair at your home in Holt Head
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt Head
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holt Head use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holt Head. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book

Common questions in Holt Head
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
