Bath repair in Hilldyke without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Hilldyke
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hilldyke.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Hilldyke?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hilldyke. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
