Common questions in Setchey

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Setchey?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Setchey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Setchey

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Setchey and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Setchey. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Setchey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Setchey

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Setchey

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
