What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Repair or replace in Great Bourton?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Great Bourton

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Great Bourton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Great Bourton contact us are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Bourton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
