Irthlingborough questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Irthlingborough?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Irthlingborough

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Irthlingborough?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Irthlingborough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irthlingborough use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Irthlingborough

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
