Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common questions in Breckland

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Breckland.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Breckland

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Breckland contact us are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
