Questions from Silverstone

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

About our bath repair in Silverstone

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Silverstone

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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’s what we repair.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Silverstone

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Silverstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.

  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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
