What affects the price in Lydford Fair Place

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise 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.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Lydford Fair Place

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace in Lydford Fair Place?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Lydford Fair Place

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Lydford Fair Place?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lydford Fair Place. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When to call us in Lydford Fair Place

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
