Bath repair near Silver Street

Bath repair in Silver Street without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Common problems we fix in Silver Street

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.

Common reasons people in Silver Street contact us are:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Silver Street, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Silver Street

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Silver Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Silver Street. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s 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.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Landlords, agents and businesses in Silver Street

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silver Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
