What affects the price in Simister

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Simister

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Simister

If you manage property in Simister, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

Honest limits

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
