Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Selham, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in Selham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Selham

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Selham?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GU28 postcode.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
