Other services in Burston
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
