About our bath repair in Holywood
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Holywood
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Holywood
About Holywood
Holywood is about 5 miles north-east of Belfast, in North Down. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets.
Our visits in BT18 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Close by, we cover Dundonald (4 miles south), Whiteabbey (4 miles north-west), Belfast (5 miles south-west), Newtownabbey (6 miles north-west) and Carrickfergus (6 miles north). If you’re somewhere remote, ring us first and we’ll plan the trip.
Around Holywood
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Holywood Primary School, Holywood Rudolf Steiner School and Holywood Parish Church of Ireland. Well-known places in the area include Belfast Castle (4.9 miles west) and Ulster Hospital (3.1 miles south). Not far away are Belfast Lough RSPB Reserve.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holywood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
