Pedlars End: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pedlars End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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 the part we put right.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we are called out for in Pedlars End

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
