Questions from Abbeyview

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Abbeyview?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Abbeyview for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Abbeyview

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace in Abbeyview?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Abbeyview. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abbeyview. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Abbeyview, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
