For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silchester use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
About our bath repair in Silchester
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Silchester
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in Silchester
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Silchester
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
