Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Langton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

East Langton questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in East Langton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
