Landlord and trade work in Old Romney
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Old Romney
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Romney. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Old Romney get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Old Romney
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Old Romney
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
