Landlord and trade work in Birstwith

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in Birstwith

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Birstwith. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Birstwith customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
