FAQs for Pett
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

Landlord and trade work in Pett

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Pett
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
