Landlords, agents and businesses in Cliff

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cliff as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Cliff without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Cliff

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work in Cliff?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cliff for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cliff?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Cliff and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for 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.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
