Bath repair in Hillhouse without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
