Bath chip & crack repair in Hilton, Derbyshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Hilton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
About our bath repair in Hilton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Hilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hilton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Hilton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
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 photos.
What we are called out for in Hilton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
