Honest limits

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Nuthampstead questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace in Nuthampstead?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Nuthampstead

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What affects the price in Nuthampstead

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nuthampstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
