What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Toldish

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Toldish contact us include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

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

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Toldish

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Toldish questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
