Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Alhampton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Alhampton

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
