Sandy Down questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
About our bath re-enamelling in Sandy Down
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Sandy Down
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sandy Down. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO41 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Sandy Down
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Sandy Down
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
