Questions from Hudswell

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Hudswell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hudswell and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hudswell

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
