Harmston questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Bath re-enamelling in Harmston without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Harmston. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Harmston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Harmston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Harmston

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

Repair or replace in Harmston?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Harmston

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Harmston contact us are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harmston

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
