Questions from Owmby-by-Spital

My house in Owmby-by-Spital is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Normally: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.

Do you cover villages like Owmby-by-Spital?

Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling in Owmby-by-Spital, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Rural addresses like Owmby-by-Spital just need a little planning. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will take care of the rest.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Owmby-by-Spital. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean. For a rural address like Owmby-by-Spital, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath re-enamelling, so there’s no second trip.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

What we are called out for in Owmby-by-Spital

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

For older houses around Owmby-by-Spital, near landmarks such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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