Landlord and trade work in Indian Queens

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we’re called out for in Indian Queens

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Indian Queens contact us include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
