When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Padside

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Padside as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Padside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Padside?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Padside

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Padside, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Padside questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
