Questions from Broughton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Broughton

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in Broughton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
