Laighstonehall: your questions answered

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Laighstonehall. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Laighstonehall

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

For landlords and businesses

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Laighstonehall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
