Silver End questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Silver End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Silver End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

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