Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

About our bath repair in Hillpark

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillpark. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Hillpark clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place

Your questions about bath repair in Hillpark

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do you come to Hillpark?

We do. We send a technician to Hillpark for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hillpark included. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillpark use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Hillpark, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hillpark, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Hillpark

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
