Landlord and trade work in Lyng

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.
Bath re-enamelling in Lyng, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What affects the price in Lyng
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lyng. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lyng?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Lyng: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Sandwell, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, 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.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
