Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, 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.

Hilton: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work in Hilton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hilton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Hilton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
