How we handle bath repair in Upper Holme
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Upper Holme
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Upper Holme contact us are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
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.
Upper Holme questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Repair or replace in Upper Holme?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
