Landlord and trade work in Galemire
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Galemire, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Repairing versus replacing in Galemire
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Usually one visit, start to finish

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Galemire?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we are called out for in Galemire
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
