Bath chip & crack repair in Holywell, Cambridgeshire
Damaged bath in Holywell? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our bath repair in Holywell
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Holywell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Holywell
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Holywell and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Holywell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
