Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Austrey as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Austrey

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Most customers in Austrey get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Austrey

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Austrey?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Austrey?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
