Landlord and trade work in Long Street

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath re-enamelling in Long Street without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

What affects the price in Long Street

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Long Street

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Long Street

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Questions from Long Street

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
