Our Story

Introduction To Our Company History & Mission


Hilles Tub and Shower Repair traces its roots to a small team of fiberglass craftsmen who opened for business in Mount Joy, PA in 2005. Over the last two decades, we’ve built a reputation for reliable, high-quality fiberglass repair across residential, marine, RV, and commercial markets.


Our mission is simple: provide honest assessments, long-lasting repairs, and exceptional customer experience while delivering cost-effective solutions that minimize disruption. From fixing a cracked bathtub to performing a structural hull repair, we approach each project with the same commitment to craftsmanship and safety.

The Big Picture

Why Our Work Matters


Fiberglass structures are everywhere—bathtubs, showers, pools, hot tubs, boats, RVs, and industrial panels. Damage to these items can undermine safety, cause leaks, and reduce property value. Replacing a fiberglass fixture often means extensive demolition, weeks of downtime, and higher expense.


Skilled fiberglass repair restores function and looks, preserving original components and saving customers time, money, and stress. As local experts who provide mobile fiberglass repair, we deliver practical, sustainable solutions that stretch how long fiberglass assets remain serviceable.

Sustainable choices and responsible materials

We use industry-approved resins, gelcoats, and fiberglass fabrics selected for compatibility and durability. Where possible we choose products with reduced VOCs and follow proper ventilation and personal protective protocols. Repairing rather than replacing also reduces waste and environmental impact—restoring existing assets prolongs their life and reduces demands on new materials.
