Bath repair in Silverhill without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

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.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Silverhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Silverhill

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Silverhill included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Silverhill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Silverhill

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
