FAQs for Fleets

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you cover Fleets?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fleets from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fleets

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fleets. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fleets?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
