Bath repair in Holtsmere End, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t 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 so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Holtsmere End
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What affects the price in Holtsmere End
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath repair in Holtsmere End
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Most clients in Holtsmere End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
