Common questions in Billington

Do you charge for travel?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Billington?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Bath re-enamelling in Billington, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Billington as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Billington

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Billington?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Billington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
