Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Gawber, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gawber

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gawber. The price comes down to:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What the surface is made of
How many areas need work
Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Something in shot to show the size
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Natural light rather than flash
What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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 a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

Let us know if it has been repaired before
Clear the area around the damage
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Gawber questions

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Gawber. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Barnsley.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

A bath that’s rusted through
Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
