Bath repair at your home in Holytown

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Holytown questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holytown

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holytown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
