Common problems we fix in Gumley

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Bath re-enamelling in Gumley without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Gumley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Gumley

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Landlord and trade work in Gumley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gumley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Gumley

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Gumley

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gumley. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
