Bath repair in Hilmarton without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
There’s 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 two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Hilmarton?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Hilmarton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hilmarton. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
