Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kingston on Soar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Kingston on Soar

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you work in Kingston on Soar?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kingston on Soar for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kingston on Soar?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Common problems we fix in Kingston on Soar

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
