Questions from Laleham

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

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

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Laleham

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Laleham

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Laleham

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Laleham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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.
