Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashdon
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Ashdon
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common questions in Ashdon
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ashdon.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ashdon?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Ashdon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
