About our bath repair in Silian
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Silian
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Silian
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most customers in Silian get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Silian
How much does bath repair cost in Silian?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SA48 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
