For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid 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 and makes resurfacing more work.

Common questions in Denton

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Denton?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you come to Denton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Denton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Denton. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Denton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Denton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Denton?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
