How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Holton le Clay. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Holton le Clay, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Holton le Clay

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
