Landlord and trade work in Holland-on-Sea

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holland-on-Sea as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath re-enamelling in Holland-on-Sea, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Holland-on-Sea and across Essex.

Repair or replace in Holland-on-Sea?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Holland-on-Sea

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Holland-on-Sea

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holland-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Questions from Holland-on-Sea

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
