When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

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

What we’re called out for in South Wonston

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in South Wonston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in South Wonston

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
