About our bath repair in Holy Corner

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

FAQs for Holy Corner

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Materials we work on in Holy Corner

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Holy Corner?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
