Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Offley

If you manage property in Great Offley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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.

About our bath re-enamelling in Great Offley

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Offley?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Offley

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Great Offley

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will there be fumes?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Great Offley

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
