Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Grimsby

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Common questions in New Grimsby

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

All of the Isles of Scilly, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in New Grimsby.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for New Grimsby. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

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’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Landlord and trade work in New Grimsby

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in New Grimsby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
