Landlord and trade work in Beckenham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beckenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Beckenham without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Beckenham. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

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

FAQs for Beckenham

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Beckenham?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you come to Beckenham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Beckenham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting 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 reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Beckenham?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
