How we handle bath repair in Hillesley
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hillesley. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
