Bath repair at your home in Hill Dale
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Hill Dale questions
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Hill Dale
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
