What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in High Catton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in High Catton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Catton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

High Catton: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in High Catton

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
