Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bodiam

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodiam

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Bodiam?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Common questions in Bodiam

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

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’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When to call us in Bodiam

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
