Bath chip & crack repair in The Holt, Wokingham
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in The Holt, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
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. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in The Holt, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from The Holt
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Common problems we fix in The Holt
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, 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 few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in The Holt and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
