How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Donnington Wood

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TF2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Donnington Wood: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donnington Wood

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Telford and Wrekin and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
