Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Letheringham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Letheringham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

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

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Letheringham

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Letheringham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Letheringham and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Letheringham. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
