Our hiring checklist

About our bath re-enamelling in Little Bosullow

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Little Bosullow

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Little Bosullow?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a smell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Bosullow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Little Bosullow

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Little Bosullow. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Little Bosullow get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
