Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Double Hill questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Double Hill. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Double Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we are called out for in Double Hill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
