Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Ledbury without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ledbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Ledbury

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will the new finish last?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send pictures?

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