About our bath repair in Hillhead
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What we are called out for in Hillhead
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Hillhead
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover Hillhead?
We do. Technicians travel to Hillhead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
