How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Blacker Hill, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Blacker Hill questions

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Blacker Hill.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Blacker Hill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Blacker Hill

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blacker Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
