For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwater use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fairwater
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fairwater as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Fairwater
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Fairwater?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fairwater from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Fairwater. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Different materials, different repairs
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Fairwater and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
