What affects the price in Frilford Heath

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Frilford Heath

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Frilford Heath

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
