Bath repair in Hilton, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hilton as everywhere else we work.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Hilton
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hilton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hilton. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
