What we are called out for in Colney Heath

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Colney Heath questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Colney Heath. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
