Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishophill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishophill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Bishophill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Bath re-enamelling in Bishophill without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Questions from Bishophill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover Bishophill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bishophill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Bishophill
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Bishophill
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishophill. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
