Repairing versus replacing in Hilton
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Hilton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Signs you need bath repair in Hilton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
