FAQs for Hadlow Down

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hadlow Down. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

The price 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.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
