About our bath repair in Silverburn
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Silverburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silverburn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Silverburn questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How much does bath repair cost in Silverburn?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
