DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calenick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Calenick
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
