The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Perrywood

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • 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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Perrywood

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
