Bath Repair in Holybourne
Damaged bath in Holybourne? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair at your home in Holybourne
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Holybourne
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Holybourne
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
