When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brightside

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Brightside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Brightside

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Brightside?

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
