DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fishwick

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Our hiring checklist

Fishwick questions

Do you come to Fishwick?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Fishwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fishwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Fishwick

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

If you are in Fishwick and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

  • Victorian roll-tops
