Bath repair in Holywell, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

What we are called out for in Holywell
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Holywell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
