Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Long Duckmanton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Long Duckmanton
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in Long Duckmanton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Long Duckmanton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Long Duckmanton

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
