Common questions in Orsett Heath

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Orsett Heath.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orsett Heath

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Orsett Heath?

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
