DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Hillhead
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Hillhead
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Hillhead questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover Hillhead?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hillhead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
