Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowpen Bewley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

FAQs for Cowpen Bewley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Cowpen Bewley

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Cowpen Bewley

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

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.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TS23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
