Repairing versus replacing in East Holme

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Holme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Bath re-enamelling in East Holme, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlord and trade work in East Holme

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

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Questions from East Holme

How do I book?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
