Repairing versus replacing in Lidsey

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lidsey

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Lidsey

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Common questions in Lidsey

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Lidsey?

We do. We send a technician to Lidsey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

Landlord and trade work in Lidsey

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Lidsey

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

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
