Landlords, agents and businesses in Langley Vale

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Langley Vale

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for Langley Vale

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Langley Vale

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in Langley Vale

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Langley Vale clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
