Landlord and trade work in Aldham

For anyone letting property in or around Aldham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aldham

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Aldham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Aldham

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Aldham

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aldham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Aldham?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aldham

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
