Landlord and trade work in Calcutt
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
About our bath re-enamelling in Calcutt
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Calcutt
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
