Lawton Heath End questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Lawton Heath End?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we are called out for in Lawton Heath End

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lawton Heath End. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lawton Heath End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
