Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buckland in the Moor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When can you do it?

You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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