Bath chip & crack repair in Little Holbury, Hampshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Little Holbury, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
About our bath repair in Little Holbury
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Little Holbury?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Little Holbury
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Holbury. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Little Holbury and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

FAQs for Little Holbury
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Little Holbury
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
