Hilton questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hilton.
How much does bath repair cost in Hilton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How we handle bath repair in Hilton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What else we do in Hilton
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repair or replace in Hilton?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Hilton
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hilton. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Hilton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Do you need bath repair in Hilton?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
