FAQs for Barrow upon Humber

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

Keep a parking space free if you can
Ensure the room can be ventilated
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
