How we handle bath repair in Holton

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

FAQs for Holton

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work in Holton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Holton and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

What affects the price in Holton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Holton

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Signs you need bath repair in Holton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
