Common questions in Hilderthorpe

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you come to Hilderthorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Hilderthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Hilderthorpe

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilderthorpe

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. 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 early repair saves time and money.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
