What affects the price in Hungerford

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Bath re-enamelling in Hungerford, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Hungerford

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 Hungerford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Hungerford

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Hungerford questions

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Hungerford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hungerford and the rest of West Berkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
