Bath Repair in Silloth
Damaged bath in Silloth? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Silloth, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Silloth
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Silloth
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Silloth

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Silloth questions
Do you come to Silloth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Silloth and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Silloth?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
