Holbeach St Matthew questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Holbeach St Matthew

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Holbeach St Matthew

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Holbeach St Matthew, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
