Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Questions from Abbots Langley

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Abbots Langley?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WD5 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we are called out for in Abbots Langley

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbots Langley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
