Landlord and trade work in Hanthorpe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hanthorpe

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hanthorpe?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Hanthorpe questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Hanthorpe?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hanthorpe. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
