About our bath repair in Silverton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Questions from Silverton
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common problems we fix in Silverton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Silverton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
