What affects the price in North Cotes

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in North Cotes get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Cotes

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Cotes

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in North Cotes

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairing versus replacing in North Cotes

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Cotes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Cotes

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes North Cotes. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
