Common questions in Lavington Sands

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Lavington Sands?

We do. We send a technician to Lavington Sands for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

About our bath re-enamelling in Lavington Sands

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lavington Sands and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Lavington Sands

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
