About our bath repair in Silkstone Common
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Silkstone Common: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Silkstone Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Silkstone Common. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Silkstone Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repairing versus replacing in Silkstone Common
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
