Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Hillpool
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Hillpool: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath repair cost in Hillpool?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work in Hillpool?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hillpool for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What we are called out for in Hillpool
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace in Hillpool?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
