About our bath repair in Holton St Mary
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

What affects the price in Holton St Mary
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Holton St Mary
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

FAQs for Holton St Mary
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CO7 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
