Common questions in Itton

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Itton

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Itton as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Itton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Itton

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Itton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
