Bath repair near Holywell Row

Bath repair in Holywell Row without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Holywell Row

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holywell Row. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Holywell Row

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Holywell Row?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlord and trade work in Holywell Row

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
