Great Bridgeford questions

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Great Bridgeford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Bridgeford, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Great Bridgeford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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.

Repair or replace in Great Bridgeford?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
