Common questions in Aston Abbotts

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Bath re-enamelling in Aston Abbotts, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

What affects the price in Aston Abbotts

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Aston Abbotts get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

When to call us in Aston Abbotts

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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.

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
