About our bath repair in Silfield

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Silfield

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Silfield questions

How much does bath repair cost in Silfield?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Silfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
