Bath repair at your home in CH8
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Pricing in CH8
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for CH8. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Holywell’s nearest station is Flint station, roughly 4.1 miles south-east of the centre.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
What we are called out for in CH8
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Landlords, agents and businesses in CH8
For anyone letting property in or around CH8, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Flintshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
