Common questions in Ordsall

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ordsall?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ordsall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
