Trusted bath re-enamelling in Choppington

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Choppington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Choppington

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Choppington

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Choppington

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a smell?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Choppington and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Choppington?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What affects the price in Choppington

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Choppington. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Choppington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Choppington?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
