Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clifton Village

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

In and around Clifton Village, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Some still have cast iron or steel baths, which are worth keeping.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clifton Village as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Clifton Village

I let a flat near Beeston station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. We fix baths between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.

Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Clifton Village?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?

All of Nottingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. In a smaller place like Clifton Village, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Clifton Village. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. For a home in Clifton Village, we normally park close by and start immediately, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Clifton Village. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Clifton Village, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Clifton Village

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St. Mary's Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
