Honest limits

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Sutton Bassett

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton Bassett

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sutton Bassett, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
