Common problems we fix in Three Mills

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Three Mills questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Three Mills

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Three Mills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Three Mills

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Most clients in Three Mills get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Three Mills. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
