What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cliddesden

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

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.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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 children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cliddesden?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Cliddesden: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
