Bath chip & crack repair in Holwell, Leicestershire
Bath repair in and around Holwell: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair in Holwell without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Holwell
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
