Landlords, agents and businesses in South End
For anyone letting property in or around South End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in South End
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for South End?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in South End?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
