Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

About our bath re-enamelling in Clive

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

FAQs for Clive

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Clive, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Clive

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

When to call us in Clive

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Clive. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
