Landlords, agents and businesses in Brockley Elm

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brockley Elm as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Brockley Elm

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brockley Elm

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Brockley Elm, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Brockley Elm?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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 few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
