Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Briscoe

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in East Briscoe

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

Whether we combine several jobs
Unusual colours or finishes
Where the damage is and how we get to it
What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
What it’s made of, if you know
One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
A metal bath with a through crack
Holes rusted through the metal

Questions from East Briscoe

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, East Briscoe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

Ensure the area is dry
Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Advice

When to call us in East Briscoe

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
A coloured bath you want in white
Lots of chips and rust spots
A coating lifting around the plughole

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
