Bath chip & crack repair in Hilcott, Wiltshire
Bath repair in and around Hilcott: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Hilcott, 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. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Hilcott
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlord and trade work in Hilcott

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What we’re called out for in Hilcott
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

Questions from Hilcott
Do you come to Hilcott?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hilcott and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
