What we are called out for in Firbeck

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Repairing versus replacing in Firbeck

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Firbeck. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Firbeck, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
