Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Common questions in Bessingby

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Bessingby?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bessingby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Bessingby

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
