What affects the price in Hackleton

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hackleton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Hackleton

Questions from Hackleton

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Hackleton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hackleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Hackleton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re called out for in Hackleton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
