Clifton: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What affects the price in Clifton

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Clifton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
