Caddonfoot: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Caddonfoot is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Landlord and trade work in Caddonfoot

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Caddonfoot

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What affects the price in Caddonfoot

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Caddonfoot. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Caddonfoot, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
