DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bealbury

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Bealbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bealbury. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Bealbury

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Bealbury

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
