Common questions in Bishopswood

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

About our bath re-enamelling in Bishopswood

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bishopswood. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishopswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

If you are in Bishopswood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishopswood

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Common problems we fix in Bishopswood

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
