How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Most customers in Great Fransham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Fransham

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Fransham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Great Fransham: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Fransham?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
