How we handle bath repair in Hilton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Hilton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Your questions about bath repair in Hilton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How much does bath repair cost in Hilton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PE28 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
More services for Hilton
Landlord and trade work in Hilton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Hilton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hilton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair
