Landlord and trade work in Heybrook Bay
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
About our bath re-enamelling in Heybrook Bay
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
