Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colne Engaine as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

What we’re called out for in Colne Engaine
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
