Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Hillington, done in place
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Hillington?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Hillington: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
