Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common problems we fix in Black Bourton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Black Bourton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Black Bourton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Black Bourton

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Black Bourton

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
