Bath repair at your home in Silton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Silton?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in Silton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire 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.
