About our bath repair in Hillcommon
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Hillcommon: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Common problems we fix in Hillcommon
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Hillcommon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
