Common questions in Bitteswell

Do you work in Bitteswell?

We do. We send a technician to Bitteswell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Bitteswell. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Repairing versus replacing in Bitteswell

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repairs by material

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 re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Bitteswell

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bitteswell. The price comes down to:

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Bitteswell

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
