Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Penruddock

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Penruddock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Penruddock questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repair or replace in Penruddock?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Penruddock. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Penruddock, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
