A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rotherford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Rotherford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Rotherford

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Rotherford

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

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.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Leeds. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
