About our bath repair in Silstwn
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Silstwn questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Silstwn. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Silstwn
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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
