Landlord and trade work in Sadberge
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sadberge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath re-enamelling in Sadberge, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
