Bath repair at your home in Holborn
You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and scratches and burns.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Signs you need bath repair in Holborn
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Questions from Holborn
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Holborn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Holborn. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
