Compton Acres questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Compton Acres.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are there extra charges for Compton Acres?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Compton Acres
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Compton Acres and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Compton Acres
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Compton Acres?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
